    Marriage after greencard

    F1 might be your most realistic option, try community colleges, they are relatively cheap and really easy to graduate from, all you have to do is just show up for class.

    giving up GC - can I get an H1B later?

    Jackolantern, if I decide to take up work with a locum tenens company as an independent contractor doing temporary MD assignments and work in the US for 7 months a year (in two 3 to 4 months blocks every year) and spend the rest of the time abroad, is this going to affect my chances for...

    giving up GC - can I get an H1B later?

    What proof of residence do they normally ask for when you are returning with a re-entry permit after, say, 1.5 years of absence? To me it does not make too much sense to maintain an apartment/house, or even a car, in the US when one plans to be absent for such a long time. Would receipts from...

    thanks compiler, agian my question is - will I be elligible for H1B if I surrender my GC, and subsequently for a new employment based GC? Is this going to hurt my chances to get a second GC?

    giving up GC - can I get an H1B later?

    Thank you guys. I knew about the re-entry permit option but besides tax returns and bank/retirement accounts I would not have much else to show in terms of ties to the US (I plan to sell all property and my car before I leave). Besides that, another reason for wanting to return on an H1B is that...

    giving up GC - can I get an H1B later?

    Hi all, Here is my dilemma: I got my EB green card in April 2007 (I'm a physician, did my residency on H1B, then got a job which sponsored me for GC). Unfortunately, some unforseen family circumstances require me to leave the US and stay away for an extended period of time and I cannot predict...

    Officer Almost Took My Green Card

    got my GC on 2005 but i stayed in Canada. i just go to the US every 5 months and stayed for 2 weeks. Why did you want a Green Card in the first place? Just wondering... Consider yourself lucky that you got it back at all and try to learn the lesson.

    How long to get the actual card.

    Current Status: Card Mailed On April 23, 2007, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file. You should receive your new card within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service. Game Over!!!

    How long to get the actual card.

    I did my code 2 yesterday, had a LUD right away but no change of status, status still Approval Notice Sent. Any idea how long is it going to take to get the actual card in the mail? If I don't get it in a few weeks should I get an Infopass appointment to get passport stamped or should I wait for...

    How long to get the actual card.

    I just got Code 2 BIO notice for 4/24 but I'll try to present at ASC earlier and see if I can get this done in advance. Should I ask them for passport stamp at the time of BIO or I will get a separate notice and appt for that? Or should I just get INFOPASS to get paspsort stamped? Thanks!
